With the growing trend of digital transformation in the manufacturing industry, the importance of MES (Manufacturing Execution Systems) in production processes has become increasingly prominent. As a bridge connecting enterprise resources and the production floor, MES systems require real-time and accurate data collection and integration from industrial equipment to support key business operations such as production scheduling, quality management, and inventory control.

WideIOT data acquisition gateway is an IoT device equipped with protocol parsing and data acquisition capabilities for a wide range of industrial equipment. It can connect to various industrial devices (PLCs, instruments and meters, industrial robots, CNC machine tools, sensors, etc.), while also supporting multiple communication and networking methods along with network disconnection protection, making it suitable for diverse and flexible industrial application scenarios.

The WideIOT data acquisition gateway can collect real-time information on equipment operating status, process parameters, product quality, and other critical data, and transmit it via 5G/4G/Wi-Fi/Ethernet. It provides northbound interfaces for data exchange with MES systems, using standardized MQTT communication protocols and JSON formats to ensure reliable data transmission and correct parsing.

MES systems can subscribe to corresponding topics via MQTT to receive data. In addition, the gateway supports Modbus protocol communication, enabling real-time reading and writing of device data and forwarding of data to MES systems, thus achieving seamless integration with MES for real-time data acquisition, storage, and analysis.

Features

Multi-protocol support: The gateway supports a wide range of communication protocols and interfaces, capable of adapting to different types of industrial equipment and MES system requirements, such as PLC protocols, environmental protection protocols, hydrological protocols, power industry standards, etc., via Ethernet ports and serial ports.

Flexibility and scalability: The gateway offers flexible configuration options and expansion interfaces, allowing customization and extension based on actual needs. It can implement equipment fault monitoring and alarms by configuring acquisition intervals, cycle periods, and alarm rules.

High reliability: Industrial-grade design enhances acquisition stability and store-and-forward capabilities on disconnection. Multiple networking methods ensure reliable data transmission, maintaining data integrity even under unstable network conditions.
